Rootbeer Pulled Pork

Costco had their large pork loins on sale this week. I purchased two. One went in the freezer and the other went into this pulled pork recipe. This recipe is scaled down to use half a large pork loin about 1.5 kg.Rootbeer Pulled Pork1/2 half a large Costco pork loin- about 1.5 kg1 can Rootbeer2 tbsp butter, lard or oil1 cup ketchup1 tbsp garlic, minced ( I use the kind in the jar from Costco)1/4 cu p Worcerstershire Sauce1/4 cup brown sugarSalt and pepper to tasteCut slits into one side of pork loin.
